This pilot project consists of prescribing guided visits to museums from health centres. It is aimed at elderly people who suffer from unsought loneliness, social isolation or physical inactivity in the city of Valencia. The main objective is "to improve the health of the participants by combating a sedentary lifestyle and strengthening their self-esteem." Six museums or cultural spaces and six health centres of Valencia have participated in this pilot project by offering two guided tours for each group. Once the pilot project is over and after a final evaluation, the project scope will be broaden to the entire region of Valencia (Comunitat Valenciana).
